Making Pitt Fit Community Garden

Growing Community, One Garden at a Time

Gardening offers unique benefits at every age. For kids, it feels like play, digging, planting, and watching seeds sprout teaches patience, responsibility and the magic of nature. For adults, it brings relaxation, stress relief and the reward of harvesting fresh produce. Together, families and neighbors can enjoy time outdoors, stay active and build connections that grow as strong as the gardens.

Join a welcoming network of gardeners who share tools, tips, and resources to make gardening more enjoyable, affordable, and successful. This shared space connects residents to the local food system and provides hands-on learning that supports healthier living through fresh, homegrown food.
